Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer makes a mess of saved documents

Hi :)
Try keeping your originals in Odt format (for 'text' (really word-processed) documents) and then 
save in DocX or better still Doc.  The way you are doing it, ie DocX for originals, is creating 
problems.  

Actually DocX is a nightmare at best.  Try to avoid it!  Even MS Office renders it differently 
depending on which version of MS and which OS.  So something in MS Office 2010 may look different 
when viewed with MS Office 2010 on Win7 or Vista and often will look weird in 2007 (assuming 2007 
can open the file at all).  

The older Doc format is better as more programs render it properly now.  In LibreOffice just "Save 
As ... " "MS Word (97/2000/Xp)" or set that as default in
Tools - Options - Load/Save - General

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi, 
i don't know why but when you make a document, starting with just a blanc
layout.
You put in text and in between some pictures. Then it looks ok.

When you save it in docx or odt format and then re-open it, it is a totall
mess. aaaaaaaHrrggg!

it totally does not remember were you placed the picture.
It places thru the document and even on top of each other.
How come this happens, this is really a big bug to me.
I never have it at my job were MS Office is used and were the same actions
are used.

Thanks for helping. btw i use 3.4.4

Regards,
jerry
